The 3rd
Brigade controlled five of the 26th Infantry
Division's eight assigned infantry battalions. (The
other three fell under the 43rd Infantry Brigade of
the Connecticut ARNG.) One of these five, the 1-101
IN, was a mechanized infantry battalion which would
probably have been allotted to the
86th
Armored Brigade of the Vermont ARNG.

Infantry battalions of the Army National
Guard were mostly organized under the Army of
Excellence (AoE) scheme with a headquarters company,
three lettered rifle companies and a combat
support (CS) company.
